There is simply no comfort level greater when traveling down a long, steep grade while towing heavy than having an exhaust brake. Can the same grades be taken with a gasoline engine? Sure! I just don't enjoy the white knuckle experience I would get from not having the diesel engine to very effectively control the decent. Others will have a much different comfort zone than mine. Diesel engine is a +$10k option. Gas is less expensive than diesel fuel, but the MPGs towing will be better with a diesel. Much like everything in life, everything is a trade off. You will have to do what is best for you. Good luck. Shopping for a TV can be almost as exasperating as shopping for a fifth wheel.
